NBA Playoff Overview – There is Still Much to be Decided in these NBA Playoffs

The online sportsbook experts can all agree that these NBA playoffs are extremelyexciting to watch. The Los Angeles Clippers were left for dead by the rest of the league,but Blake Griffin brought the Clippers back to life in game one against the MemphisGrizzlies. The Bulls suffered what looks like a major setback to its playoff chances, whilethe Knicks get good news on the injury front. There is no doubt that, as the weekendapproaches in the NBA playoffs, the betting sites will have plenty to keep an eye on aseach series continues to progress.

All Games are Scheduled for Saturday May 5

Indiana Pacers @ Orlando MagicThe Orlando Magic seem to be adjusting well to the loss of superstar Dwight Howard asthe Magic took the first game in this series against a young Pacers team. While the Magicmay have a good enough bench to beat the Pacers, the price per head sports experts arenot going to give the Magic much of a chance of getting any further than the first roundof the playoffs. But this series is far from over. The Pacers can be aggressive when itneeds to be and pressuring this Magic team as it tries to find its way without DwightHoward is how to beat Orlando.Pick: Indiana Pacers

Memphis Grizzlies @ Los Angeles ClippersThe Clippers lack the rebounding and defensive play to be an NBA champion, but thoseare two aspects of its game that the team is working on. The Clippers looked hesitant andalmost intimidated by its first taste of the playoffs in a very long time. Blake Griffin hadnever played in a playoff game before, and he looked overwhelmed at first. But when thesecond half of game one started, the entire Clippers team looked ready to go. Griffin tookover the game and there was little that the Grizzlies could do. This series will probably goat least six games and has the potential to go seven. But the Clippers are tough at home,and that will come out in this game.Pick: Los Angeles Clippers

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Dallas MavericksA 5 dimes review of the Dallas Mavericks roster at the beginning of the seasons shows ateam that had to let a lot of bench talent go after its championship run last year. While itwould be a great story to see Dirk Nowitzki lead the Mavericks to a successful defenseof its NBA title in these playoffs, it seems extremely unlikely against an Oklahoma CityThunder team so deep in talent. This could very well be the last game of the season forthe Dallas Mavericks.Pick: Oklahoma City Thunder

San Antonio Spurs @ Utah JazzNBA fans always enjoy it when the San Antonio Spurs and the Utah Jazz get togetherfor a playoff series. But the Jazz just does not have the weapons it has had in the past tocombat the play of the Spurs. San Antonio is attacking Utah with Mano Ginobili, Tony

Parker and Tim Duncan, and the Jazz has no reply. As with the Mavericks, this could bethe last game of the season for Utah.Pick: San Antonio Spurs
